The goodness from the smoothie cancels out the nasties from the other foods so you're neutral for the day @Determined. That's how I see it anyway.

Started the day this morning whit a smoothie.
Banana , pear and baby green leaves.
Only downfall this morning was I used full cream milk instead of water.
Have left over chicken stir fry for lunch.
Hiding at the uni today so there is less distraction, added bonus ... reduced access to comfort food . 🙂
Studying hard for tomorrows exam. (more accurately `cramming' at this late stage)
Have been managing an afternoon walk for the last 5 days so pleased with that also.
Started out with 10 minutes, my darling came with me yesterday and we did 30mins. bonus time as councillor is only expecting 10 mins. 🙂
